What it is

A urinalysis checks a urine sample for signs of infection, kidney disease, diabetes and other problems. This version uses a manual dipstick reading plus a microscope exam of the urine for cells, crystals and bacteria.

What the price covers

The price covers the dipstick test and the microscope exam. A urine culture, if ordered, is a separate test.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 81000 ($18.00). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
